5 Top experiences for New Year’s Eve in Madrid

Madrid,it’s a city that comes to life in a big way on New Year’s Eve. Locals always go out of their way to warmly welcome visitors and show them how to celebrate the coming of the New Year in the Spanish way by eating 12 grapes, one for every strike of the clock ( located in Puerta del Sol ) until the midnight hour strikes.
